Improvisations

When I don´t feel for messing up the “good” watercolor-paper or when I just don´t feel for painting something specific I always come back to my sketchbooks. What I like about painting in them is the different paper and that it is not important if the result is great or not. It is relaxing and maybe that is why I still like a lot of my sketchbook paintings much better than the “real” watercolors. Last night I was getting tired while painting on two pictures. I did not like to ruin them but I had to do something to stay awake – so I decided to improvise a bit in my sketchbook. It brought me through the last hours of the night and it was fun.
